ABOUT

The history of the company starts by four young olive oil producers from the same family roots. Having as ally the land of their ancestors, they decided to continue the long tradition of olive cultivation. This way they will highlight the «golden liquid» of the region, which was for many generations the basic survival commodity.Their love for the extra virgin olive oil and their quest to find the highest quality olive oil, led to the foundation of the family business named ASOPOS GROVES. With respect to the people, we ensure quality throughout the production line,from the field to bottling.To achieve the desired quality we implement the AGRO 2.1 & 2.2 integrated production management system for the proper use of fertilizers and pesticides, while the bottling is done according to the international recognized standards of ISO 22000 & IFS FOOD.
